Post up the link to the YouTube vid I deff want to see that for my self. I just find it hard to belive that someone squeezed that knd of power w/o an IC.

Its not uncommon:thumbsup:

I was watching on youtube and seen an 89 non IC dodge that got about 430HP and 730TQ and was wondering what it takes to get these kind of power numbers out of a VE pump???
I have a 92 IC dodge and was just wondering a way to get more power and what other people out there have done.

The short answer is injectors, turbo upgrade, pump tuning, and all the supporting parts (fuel supply, built trans or clutch, intake exhaust, etc...)

How do you keep the egt's down then. I'm not tryin to cause trouble I'm Just courious.

You either set the truck up with the right combination of parts, use chemical intercooling (water meth, NOS), or ignore the EGTS......

How much is that intercooler really helping you sitting still on a dyno?

For a 15 sec burst of power (dyno, drag race, sled pull) an intercooler isn't that important. Lots of dedicated pullers and drag trucks dont have them.

Now, they do help you utilize the power for longer. Thats why you need them to run high horsepower on the highway.

All I'm saying is intercoolers don't hinder you making power in short bursts....

Thats Bill Gilberts truck. It may be intercooled now.

I would say that an intercooler does add to the power rating even in short bursts. It does cool the charge air and cooler air makes more power.

Well, true, but what about sitting still on the dyno? And going 15 mph down a sled pulling track?

I know lots of folks use fans on the dyno...but it would take a hell of a fan to equal the air forced through an intercooler at just 40 mph.
